A positive-temperature-coefficient electrode with thermal protection mechanism for rechargeable lithium batteries

A new positive-temperature-coefficient(PTC) material was prepared simply by blending of conductive Super P carbon black(CB) with insulating poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) polymer matrix,which was empolyed as a coating layer on the aluminium foil substrate to fabricate a sandwiched Al/PTC/LiCoO2 cathode.The experimental results from cyclic voltammetry,charge-discharge measurements and impedance spectroscopy demonstrated that the PTC electrode has a normal electrochemical performance at ambient temperature,but shows an enormous increase in the resistance at the temperature range of 80?120℃.This PTC behavior greatly restrains the reaction current passing through the electrode at elevated temperatures,capable of acting as a self-actuating safety mechanism to prevent the battery from thermal runaway.     

Investigation of microenvironment-depended photoluminescence in Eu3+-implantation of GaN

GaN thin films grown on sapphire were implanted by Eu~3+ with three different fluences (5.0×10~14 , 2.5×10~15 and 5.0×10~15cm~-2 ). The photoluminescence (PL) spectra show that, after annealing, the samples exhibit strong emission at around 622.0 nm under 325 nm laser excitation. The intensity of this emission increases by one order of magnitude after annealing at from 600 ℃ to 900 ℃. Moreover, it increases less than 2 times when the fluence increases from 5×10~14 cm~-2 to 5×10~15 cm~-2 for the sample annealing at 900 ℃. The PL emission peaks around 622 nm of samples annealing at 900 ℃ can be well clarified by Gaussian fitting into 620.2, 622.0 and 625.0 nm, which are due to the Eu~3+ related with defects, Eu~3+ occupied at substitutional positions of Ga, and that located at interstitial sites, respectively. It shows that the different microenvironments and positions of Eu~3+ are responsible for these peaks, and especially the defects introduced by implantation play an important role in the behavior of the PL because they set up an energy transmission bridge from exotic photons to Eu~3+ .     

Preparation and kinetic analysis of Li4SiO4 sorbents with different silicon sources for high temperature CO2 capture

Using diatomite and analytical pure SiO2 as silicon sources,Li4SiO4 sorbents for high temperature CO2 capture were prepared through solid-state reaction method.Phase composition was analyzed by X-ray diffraction,and the CO2 absorption capacity and absorptoin-desorption performance were studied by the simultaneous thermal thermogravimetric analyzer(TG-DSC).The results showed that silicon source had an important influence on CO2 absorption properties.The kinetic parameters for the chemisorption and diffusion processes were obtained by the isothermal study for different silicon sources.The results showed that the activation energies for these two processes were estimated to be 105.427 and 35.928 kJ/mol for the sample with analytical pure SiO2(AS).While for the sample with diatomite(DS),the activation energies for these two processes were estimated to be 78.500 and 20.439 kJ/mol,respectively.     

Preparation,crystal structure and quantum chemical investigation of [Li(NTO) (H2O)]

[Li(NTO)(H₂O)₂] was prepared by mixing the aqueous solution of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) and lithium hydroxide. The crystal structure of [Li(NTO)(H₂O)₂] was determined by single crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with crystal parameters of a = 0.742 0(2) nm, b = 0.344 9(1) nm,c = 2.490 6(3) nm, β= 94.89(1)°, Z = 4,D _c , = 1.799 g cm⁻³,V = 0.635 nm³, μ = 1.591 cm⁻¹, F(000) = 392. The finalR is 0.051. The MNDO MO calculation shows that the coordinate bonds of title compound possess certain extent of covalent character. O₂ atom of NTO anion is bonded to Li atom; the nitro group will be lost first when NTO is decomposed.     

Electrochemical behavior of adriamycin at a cobalt ion implantation modified electrode

With Co/GCE in 0.005 mol Tris/L/0.05 mol/L NaCl solution (pH 7.1), a sensitive reductive peak of adriamgcin (ADM) was obtained by the linear scan voltammetry. The peak potential is ?0.62 V (vs. SCE). The peak current is proportional to the concentration of ADM. The electrochemical behavior of the system was studied by the linear-sweep and cyclic voltammetry. The experiments showed that the reduction at Co/GCE is a quasi-reversible process with adsorption. According to Laviron’s theory, the electrode reaction rate constant k₀ and the electron transfer coefficient a are determined to be 2.15 s^-1 and 0.62, respectively. The composition of the surface, valence state of elements and depth distribution of elements on the surfaces of Co/GCE were determined by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. The experiments showed that Co was surely implanted into the surface of GCE. The implanted Co element in the form of Co-C catalyzed the reduction of ADM.

Slack-nibbling battery-aware task scheduling

Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is an efficient approach to maximize the battery life of portable devices. A novel overall planning strategy (OPS II) balancing slack supply and demand for DVS is proposed. An OPS II-based slack-nibbling overall planning strategy (SNOPS) algorithm is also proposed, which iteratively nibbles slacks for appropriate tasks selected by an overall planning dynamic priority function to perform DVS until the slack is exhausted and an optimum voltage setting is obtained. For a high-load task set, SNOPS manages to recover battery overload while maintaining schedulability. For random variable-load task sets, SNOPS achieves a saving of 29.51% battery capacity on average, the suboptimal gap is 27.84% narrower than that of our previously proposed OPS-based algorithm, and 92.10% narrower than that of the algorithm proposed by Chowdhury et al. Results indicate that OPS II manages to save battery to various extents while maintaining schedulability, and demonstrates good load compatibility and close-to-optimal performance on average.
